Day 9: Mud Volcanoes (Yellowstone,WY)

(Due to lack of Internets in the Yellowstone area, Some of these posts are a little tardy)

So if you've been to Yellowstone National Park, you have probably seen the signs warning tourists to not approach the bison, as they can be "unpredictable." But they don't really tell you what to do if the bison approach YOU, nor do they have any suggestions for when the bison herd decides to, oh...wander into the middle of traffic!

The photos here are taken at the entrance to the mud volcanoes--I took them from the safety of my car. No zoom lens--these guys got pretty close!

Day 7: Jackson Lodge

Great dinner at the Mural Room. I figured that as long as I was in the Great Plains area, I may as well try some elk. It was pretty tasty, but the cheese polenta that came with it was fantastic!

Day 7-8: Grand Teton National Park

Gorgeous day for taking pictures. I basically spent the day driving around the park, scoping out scenery, and playing with my camera. I'm still trying to figure out the photography basics, and spending several hours trying things out has really helped my understanding of what all the buttons on this camera are for.

Here are a few of my choice pics--more to follow...
